"Let's go quickly, or we'll really run out of food soon," Shen Qing said.
Fang Xiao followed her calmly and said, "Don't worry, Team 01 is a special existence in the base, and they will never let us go hungry."
After Shen Qing walked to the cafeteria, she stood on tiptoe and looked around.
The location of the Shen family was quickly locked.
"I'm leaving first," she said.
"Since we all came to the cafeteria together, let's eat together." Fang Xiao had no intention of leaving.
The two of them went to the window to grab some food, then walked to sit down next to the Shen family members.
Four pairs of gossipy eyes were instantly locked on the two of them.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect that Dr. Fang and my sister would be so destined to meet again in the base." Shen Zhian said with a smile on his face.
Shen Qing rolled her eyes at him, "What do you mean by being destined to me? Haven't you already known him?"
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "We didn't get to know Dr. Fang through you. It seems that your fate is deeper!"
Fang Xiao smiled lightly, as if he didn't care about the joke they made on him and Shen Qing.
"I'm not a doctor now. You can just call me by my name. I'm very happy to see that everyone is safe and well." Fang Xiao said with a smile.
Having said this, several people raised their teacups in tacit agreement and clinked them.
After all, in the apocalypse, there are too few opportunities to meet again.
When they were almost finished eating, Jiang Ming and Du Yao walked to the cafeteria.
It was almost the end of lunch time, and there was not much food left on the plate, only some scraps.
Du Yao said angrily: "What happened today is all your fault! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be without food!"
Jiang Ming's eyes were filled with grievances.
She lowered her voice and said, "You can't blame me entirely...if there were no delays on the way...it wouldn't be..."
"You still dare to talk back!" Du Yao interrupted, "I think you are tired of living a good life and want to go back to the days when you were hungry!"
"I didn't..." Jiang Ming lowered her eyebrows and said.
Du Yao snorted coldly, "Why don't you go and fetch me the rest of the food? You're so stupid."
His legs hadn't fully recovered yet, so he limped to the table and waited.
With red eyes, Jiang Ming put the remaining residue on a plate and brought it to him.
"You stay at home and have nothing to do all day. It's okay to skip a meal. Just go hungry at noon." Du Yao said coldly while putting food into his mouth.
Jiang Ming stood aside, wringing her fingers nervously.
"Aren't I dazzled?" Shen Zhian said in surprise: "Sister... isn't that the scumbag and the shrew?"
Du Yao had visited the Shen family before, but Shen Jie and Tao Ying did not have a good impression of him.
Now that I see him using a woman like this, I feel even more disdainful.
"Do you know each other?" Zhao Xi asked curiously.
Shen Zhian leaned close to her ear and quietly told Zhao Xi what the two had done to Shen Qing before.
After Zhao Xi heard this, the sympathy in his eyes instantly turned to disgust.
Their position was just next to the aisle that must be passed when leaving the cafeteria. When the Shen family passed by, they all cast disgusted eyes.
"Scumbag and bitch, karma will bring you retribution." Zhao Xi cursed in a low voice.
The sound was not loud, just reaching their ears.
Du Yao clenched his fists, his face darkened.
…
After the winter solstice, the temperature in S city continues to drop.
On the coldest day, the temperature outside the base reached minus sixty degrees.
It's been snowing heavily outside these days.
It is said to be snow, but it is not as white as before.
The heavy snow was mixed with a lot of gray flocculent impurities, and with the gusts of wind, it seemed like dust was rising from places that had not been cleaned for a long time.
It's been snowing heavily for several days, and City S has turned into a gray mess.
There are heating facilities in the base, but the limited resources will still be unevenly distributed.
Except for the rooms of Team 01 and their families, which are heated 24 hours a day, other rooms and public places in the base are heated at different times.
Although thermal insulation materials were used in the construction of the base, the temperature inside the base is still around minus 30 degrees.
Because there is no way to provide heating at all times, we can only add two cotton-padded clothes and one quilt to the residents in the base.
Shen Qing has a lot of winter supplies stored in his space.
But now that she was at the base, she didn't dare to take out the supplies easily.
She found the goose down she had hoarded from the space and asked Tao Ying to quietly transform the cotton-padded clothes issued by the base into down jackets.
This way, you won't be shivering from the cold on the way to the cafeteria.
And the other side.
Xiaomi also reported Shen Qing’s discovery of crystal nuclei to the organization.
Organizational leaders are delighted.
After all, no one else has this information yet. They can use this information gap to hunt more mutant beasts and cultivate a team full of superpowers.
Now, the only ones who can fight against the mutated beasts are Team Zero, so the organization handed over the cultivation of superpowers to Xiaomi and Team Zero.
"The above is the latest mission I got."
The conference room was silent.
"But we only have eight people... Even if there are eighty people, we may not be able to do this job well..." Zhou Bai whispered.
Xiaomi nodded, "This mission is indeed very heavy, but the only ones the organization can send now are us."
"I have no objection." Shen Qing said.
Anyway, this matter will be discovered sooner or later.
Now cultivate more reliable superpowers so that when zombies break out, the base will be safer.
"I have no objection, but I am only responsible for hunting mutant beasts and training new people. I am not suitable for this kind of thing." Lu Qian continued.
"Since it's okay for everyone, then it's okay for me."
Seeing everyone agreeing to the task, Xiaomi breathed a sigh of relief.
"good."
"Don't worry, there is no rush to train new recruits. The most important thing now is to kill the mutant beasts first and improve the strength of our team."
She opened a map.
Mark these large and small red dots on the map.
"This map comes from other departments of the organization. These red dots are the places where citizens have seen mutant beasts. I have sent the map to your mobile phones. In the next few days, our task is to destroy them separately."
"This time, everyone is free to form a team. Because considering the uneven combat effectiveness of the members in the group, each team can have two to three people."
Speaking of free team formation, Zhao Xi immediately looked at Shen Qing beside him.
Unexpectedly, before she could speak, Lu Qian beat her to it.
"Shen Qing, since we worked well together last time, let's be a team this time."
Shen Qing was stunned.
It didn't matter to her, it didn't matter who she was on the team with.
Shen Qing nodded, "Okay."
Zhao Xi looked disappointed, and turned around to see Zhou Bai looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Then we will continue the grouping from last time, what do you think?"
Between the serious Fang Xiao and the gentle and reliable Zhou Bai, Zhao Xi immediately chose the latter.
